Introduction

Information Systems research has significant potential in studying how Information Systems and Technology are implemented and used in developing countries. Existing research has examined the host of major challenges developing countries face with implementing Information Technologies. Of the challenges, crime and corruption are major themes that affect the success, reliability, security, and overall effectiveness of IT. How corruption affects security is a critical aspect of IT in developing countries that can make or break a system. There is a scarcity of research in the area of how crime and corruption in IT in developing countries affects security. This minitrack would seek research that explores the relationship between crime, corruption, and security in IT in developing countries.
